- 1
Boil potatoes in salted water for 12 minutes until just tender. Add green beans in the last 3 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Bring another pot of water to a boil. Add eggs and cook for exactly 7 minutes (soft-set yolk). Transfer to an ice bath. Peel and halve.

If using fresh tuna, season steaks with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet to very high heat. Sear for 90 seconds per side — the tuna should be deeply seared outside and rare inside. Slice against the grain.

Make dressing: whisk together Dijon, red wine vinegar, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange greens on a large platter. Arrange all components — potatoes, green beans, tomatoes, eggs, olives, capers, and tuna — in neat sections over the greens. Drizzle dressing over everything. Place anchovies on top.
